OrthoIllinois Chiropractic Encourages Healthy Diet to Avoid Pain and Inflammation
The S.A.D. is sad on so many levels. Inflammation. Obesity. Pain. S.A.D. being the Standard American Diet may be remedied by concentrating on and changing to a more anti-inflammatory diet. Back pain may benefit as well from an anti-inflammatory diet, so OrthoIllinois Chiropractic urges an anti-inflammatory diet for pain relief and even neurological recovery when spinal nerves ache and are inflamed which causes McHenry back pain and neck pain, etc. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic manages and relieves back pain and neck pain with a comprehensive chiropractic treatment plan of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic, exercise and nutritional diet. McHenry chiropractic patients work with OrthoIllinois Chiropractic for the relief of McHenry chronic pain, back pain, and neck pain.
McHenry DIET AND INFLAMMATION
Diet may influence obesity and chronic pain, not just in weight-bearing joints but other parts of the body, too. Poor diet many times contributes to obesity, impacts the immune system unfavorably, and prolongs recovery from inflammatory injury. A diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature instead of a pharmacological intervention after injury may well help with these concerns when exchanged for the Standard American Diet. (1) McHenry chiropractic patients with chronic pain often discover some relief with wiser eating selections.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FOODS
A review of 172 studies suggests that effects of certain foods are akin to drug management therapy for chronic pain. Natural compounds like the phenolic compounds in extra virgin olive oil are such. Carbohydrates with low glycemic indices eaten three times a day along with fruits and vegetables, yogurt, red wine are good on a daily basis. Fish and legumes, white meat, eggs and cheese and red meats can be interspersed weekly. It is not bad to have sweets occasionally! (2) Such a treat makes it simpler to manage a diet change! Eating this way facilitates inflammation/oxidative stress that results in pain relief.
DIET CHANGE FOR NEUROLOGICAL REPAIR
A well-known diet referred to as the ketogenic diet may be beneficial for lessening inflammation and advancing neuroprotection, protection of the nerves and even neurological recovery of spinal cord injury if started early after the injury. (3) Protecting and regenerating damaged, inflamed nerves is significant in the treatment of chronic pain and McHenry back pain at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic is excited to share that anti-inflammatory diets help patients heal from disc herniations and other spine related injuries.
